Residents living near the intersection explained accidents are commonplace. DOT signs have also been wiped out by motorists. Several accidents occur near the intersection each year, and according to city Police Department records, there is nearly one accident a month at Lamberts and Seldin.

One person charged that the intersection is not well-lit at night.

Speeding is usually a factor on the wide Lamberts lanes, and a slight decline in elevation prevents motorists coming from Richmond Avenue from seeing cars turning onto the highway or traveling faster than normal, say residents.

The DOT said last week that it will conduct a study and determine if other intersection controls are appropriate.
